The Flight

This is often one of the most expensive parts of the entire trip, because according to how far from London you live, the flight could cost you too much.

The accommodation

First of all, London is not one of those cities that have very narrow center where all the sights you need to see are situated and where the hotels are ridiculously expensive. London is a really big city, which has the oldest rapid transit system, the Underground. This means that no matter where your hotel is you will be able to reach every region of London in a couple of minutes only. Thus you will not make a compromise with the quality of the accommodation, but save money in the same time.

The Attractions

One of the best things about London is that though it could be really expensive, it offers so much for free. Many of the museums, which are worth visiting like the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Museum of London, etc. have no fees. So don’t miss going there. And what about the parks? All those lovely parks, where you can feel the British spirit, won’t cost you anything at all. Grab a lunch, lay on the grass and enjoy. Churches and cathedrals, fancy shops and lovely quarters. All for free.

London was founded as a communication center by the Romans shortly after they invaded Britain in 43 AD.

Londinium, as it was called then, was a little village on the Thames., on the route to the provincial capital in eastern England. The Romans built a bridge across Thames on that route, the first bridge on the Thames near the little village. London had narrow, congested streets lined with tiny shops and houses built of wood and plaster back then.
Even the London Bridge, which was considerably more than just a river crossing, had this tendency of narrow, crowded spaces. Therefore, a new stone bridge was built in 1176 to replace the old one. The city of London grew, and so did its population; by 1600 there were 200.000 souls, by the end of the 17th century shot up to 575.000, surpassing Paris as the largest city in Europe. Thus, London became the biggest city in Europe. It also became a cultural center , the center of the English cultural Renaissance, with major figures as Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare. London was Britain’s economic powerhouse and the center of a burgeoning empire.

About Me

Hello, I have my dream job and my dream hobby. In the weekdays I work in an office and help people, at the weekends I enjoy diving, observing the sea life, feeling free in the waters, being independent of everything back there, on the surface. And I adore travelling around the world, diving in different seas and oceans, meeting new people, relishing the sun and the long flights connecting continents. This place is, however, where I can talk about my everydayness and my excitements, my escape from the real world.
